I have the same problem on my xxx-nt. The problem is that the one way bearing inside the pull start case gets dirty/grimey and the bearings stick and do not release. So what i do is pull the glow plug out, and fill the motor with fuel out of the bottle, and shake it up and pour it our like 3 or 4 times. If that doesn't work, very carefully take the pull starter off the engine, and clean the one way bearing my hand in fuel.

When cleaning by hand i use alcohol to clean and 3-in-1 to lube.

Your best bet is to clean by hand. some guys drill 2 small holes in the starter housing. One right in line behind the one-way and one in the bottom of the housing case. Then you shoot some nitro spray through the hole at the bearing while pulling the cord. Works quickly, but is a bit messy.
